My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Pendants

14 years ago
Absolutely love this kitchen. Would you share the size of benson lights y'all used. I'm having a similar size island done and I can not decide between the 7 or 13 in lamps. Thank you and beautiful work.

      Hi and thank you! These are the 8" Benson pendants from restoration hardware. We struggled a bit with that too, but in the end I'm happy with our decision. The next size would have been nice, but too much of a statement for what I was going for. I didn't want the lights to be the focal point of the kitchen. Good luck with your project!

      Thank you for your time. I will most definitely take your advice into consideration.

      Hi- I have 8ft ceilings and went for 8" benson too. How many inches off ceiling do they hang?
    • 10 years ago

      Hi, Question - When sitting on the stools, or washing dishes, do the pendants block eye level?

      No they don't at all.
